Two years ago we took in the dog that was all over the news running through the Holland tunnel... showed up that he was a very anxious being, took us two years to get to this but we are very proud of him ❤️
Bulldog snorefest!
When I see all these abusive trainers doing board and train it breaks my heart. Here is Jelli, he has come to me for training since he was a puppy. He dont need training anymore but his mom prefers that he is somewhere he is comfortable when she travels.
I firmly believe in that a comfortable dog, is a dog that will learn better. How can any puppy or dog learn and hold on to what they learn if they are filled with anxiety or fear?
If your board and train trainer is not open and honest about your dogs emotional state and what they do to mitigate so your companion is as comfortable as possible, or refuse to send photos/videos. Then its time to grab your dog and go!!!
Here, you can pay for a whole room if your dog don't like the crate, we let them on the couch, if they are too stressed we have slept with them or even had them in our bedroom with our dogs when the baby puppy has been too anxious to be alone over night.
Always advocate for your dog, if the trainer cares they will understand ❤️
Thank you @fancy_face_91011 for trusting me with this boy! He is the bestest boy!

Bodhi having fun
Dogtoy Monday, Bodhi is testing out a flirtpole. He loved it, tremendously.. Flirtpole play is something you need to be careful with for multiple reasons but is also a lot of fun.
1. The dog cant be too young, sudden breaks and turns can damage joints severely even on an older dog. Growth plates has to be closed so on average around 1 year to 18 months (smaller dogs plates closes at a younger age, talk to your vet about it.)
2. The dog needs a good out/drop it, they need to be able to catch it every so often to feel satisfaction, otherwise it can lead to frustration issues which can lead to behavioral issues.
3. Shorter sessions at first, warm up and slowly build stamina, make sure to cool the dog off after with a walk to not get a sore dog. Bodhi only did 5 minutes today.
4. This is a very intense game and can lead to obsession on the flirt pole, Bodhi wants to keep going and is whining for it. Too much is not healthy and this was just his first time. This is not meant for every day and high intensity all the time. The more stamina the dog builds the more mental and physical stimulation he/she will require.
5. Dont do this with a leash reactive dog and walk after, the excitement level will get him/her to react harder on another dog, with them do a massage after or puzzle toy in the house. Use flirt pole on off days of walking.
6. This flirtpole is Outward Hound Tail Teaser
